Although it recovered from the error and should work, I still want to know... thanks.
I have done this as a PM - however, it seems to be stuck in my outbox at the moment.

Anyone know how to make it "go" or do I just have to wait?

It will 'go' when the guy reads it.

I just need autosculpt fixed and the annoying darkness of the rims. Other than that, runs brilliantly on max @ 1080p @ 6x AA on a 9600GT, 2gb DDR667 RAM, and an e2180 CPU. This PC surprised me considering I was broke, lol.

I have an 8600GT and mine gets choppy @ 4xAA 1680x1050... :?

Oh well, mine also makes an annoying clicking noise now and constantly crashes. (I think I just got ripped... ) #-o

why dont some of these people try running the game at a lower setting before claiming choppyness and bad fraps? #-o

Yeah the game may not be as optimized as Crysis but cmon. I got an old pc running the game smoothly on lowest settings at maximum resolution. If anything I lay blame to their shadows.

Maybe it's choppy because your PC can't handle your game spec. I use nvidia 9800 gx2 / asus striker II formula / intel Q6600 / RAM 4gb corsair pc800.. set all game spec to high, no prob for me, no lag and no choppy framerate.. btw, i use the hacked paul.dll version, so i don't think that's causing the choppy framerate.

People with the quickest rigs on the planet have stuttering issues. We can leave that ''too slow for Undercover'' out.

Yeah, I have below minimum specs and I have NO stuttering problems.

Sounds more like bad optimization across platforms than "Undercover is soooo nexgen and I cant handle it."

Actually, I think an 8600GT will cope on all high at 1920x1080, no AA. THis game wants RAM. I have to close firefox to get it running smooth. (Don't ask... tabs tabs and more tabs). Ram hungry to load the levels I think.

for all most everything nfs:uc runs great but if i get about 5+ (i think, have not played in over a week) cops chasing the frame rate slows down, and sometimes the world won't load fast enough. also get random crashes. GPU is a GTX280

Oh yeah, the world not loading fast enough seems to be common.

Random crashes... I used to get crashes in Auto sculpt... but ever since doing absolutely nothing different it doesn't happen now.

Frame rate slowing down with cops... I'd guess that's normal, but I don't even notice it and I max the game on a 9600GT. Check what processes you have running in case there's a virus or background task hogging resources

Request for help with an illegal copy of the game removed.
